Howdy,

If a dealer has a Fit listed in their on-site inventory, and they provide a VIN and a model code (whatever that is ), is there a way to determine the color of the car(s)?

Thanks muchly.

 

Color information is not contained in the VIN... sorry.

Here is a good reference: http://www.collegehillshonda.com/vin...005vincard.pdf

 

I do not think so.

 

You can tell the color if they have access to the interactive network that tracks vehicle status and in-transit reports. All dealers should have access to this network... sounds like they are just lazy.

Better yet, since they are local, just call and ask them?

 

I checked with someone i know and they know the color at the time their order is confirmed and in trnasit to the dealership. They also can switch them if there is availability with another consenting dealership.

 

the color code should be on the side of your driver door panel

 

Thats what my dealer told me. Originially my car was going to be automatic until we changed it

 

If you set up an account on Honda's Owner Link, you can enter the VIN there, and it will automatically pull up the specs, including color... allowing you to snoop on cars listed on autotrader that you can't see in person (and that they didn't provide all details in the ad).

 

OEM Color code is in the door jam on driver's side
